I cant find a good place to start the javascript lessons. What program should i code in for these lessons? eclipse?

I have been bouncing around in the library for the starting javascript lesson, but all of the beginner lessons are picking up from from another lesson it seems. What program should i be using for these lessons, and which lesson should i start on?

You should probably start here: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/introduction-to-programming And use Sublime, its free, has great features, its really light, and multi-platform

Sublime text is NOT free... you can download an evaluation version but then you have to purchase it.

For all purposes, its free, because the evaluation period is unlimited. But you are right, buying it is probably a good thing to do, as it will stop prompting to buy, and support a great text editor.

Agreed. It's a bit expensive (70$) considering more complex IDE's are totally free (IntelliJ IDEA CE, Eclipse, Visual Studio Express) but it's a good text editor for dynamic languages such as Ruby, PHP and Python. It's fine also for HTML and Javascript though. ;)
